What can the alumni do to help???
What do you mean by waive the traditional rush period?? Don't make them fulfil all of the pledging requirements?? I don't think so. That's how you get members who don't really care.

Sorry I am unfamiliar with your terms since I'm speaking in NPC lingo.
Alumnae can be very helpful. They can work behind the scenes during your rush events/initation stuff, they can donate their time to help get your house in order, donate money to help the chapter financially (for your dinners out during recruitment).... the possibilities really are limitless.
I don't think time = members who care. There are plenty of members who go through normal new member periods and fulfill all the requirements and end up being deadweight on otherwise good chapters.
I think James might be suggesting expediting the pledge process. If you tell women they can make immediate impacts on your chapter, they may be excited that they can jump right in and start helping out without waiting however long your pledge period is.
If you expedite it, it doesn't necessarily mean they don't fulfill all their requirements, they just fill them really quickly.
